WBC interim light heavyweight champion, Oleksandr Gvozdyk of Ukraine, said that his upcoming opponent, WBC champion Adonis Stevenson of Canada, was definitely the biggest challenge in his career, but he has trained well and is ready for the fight, Ukrinform reports.

“I respect Adonis Stevenson as a fighter, he’s a great champion, but I am ready to accept this challenge. I have one of the greatest trainers in the history of boxing, so I’m very confident. We have a good strategy. We had an excellent training camp and I’m ready. Adonis is a great fighter. He’s a dangerous southpaw and this is a real step-up for me, but it’s my time,” Boxing News 24 quoted Gvozdyk as saying.

The Ukrainian boxer trained in California, in the United States.

The mandatory fight between Stevenson and Gvozdyk will take place tonight at the Videotron Centre in Quebec City, Canada, at 9 p.m. Eastern Standard Time or 4 a.m. Kyiv time.
